Changes to TerraCycle Collections at Grace

Our TerraCycle collections have been going very well.  We have earned over $275 for the church and recycled over 13,000 items that would have otherwise been trash.  Please continue to bring your cleaned items to church for TerraCycling with the following adjustments:
Any brand healthy
food snack pouch.
  • No more coffee bags
  • New Collections
    • GoGo Squeeze Containers
    • Wine Pouches
    • Pairs of Shoes
Unfortunately, Starbuck stopped sponsoring the Coffee Bag Brigade so we are no longer able to recycle coffee bags.  Please dispose of those in the trash.

We are excited to be recycling pairs of shoes, wine pouches and Go-Go Squeeze containers.  Here are the details for each.

Go-Go Squeeze

We accept GoGo squeeZ or other healthy food snack pouches. Please try to rinse them out as much as practical before bringing them in to church.

Wine Pouches

We accept all individual wine pouches, including Clif Family Winery Climber wine pouches.  This includes those that come inside boxes of wine too.

Pairs of Shoes

Recycle pairs of shoes
  • Paired Shoes Brigade accepted waste: pairs of women’s, men’s, and children’s shoes, which may include athletic sneakers, cleats, flats, high heels, dress shoes, boots, and fashion or casual sneakers.
  • Please Note: You must send in PAIRS of shoes. TerraCycle is unable to accept single shoes. Also, we will not accept any shoe that has even a single hole that you can put a pen through.
  • The Paired Shoes Brigade does NOT accept: ski boots, roller skates, roller blades, ice skates, completely broken or ruined footwear, single shoes, rubber flip flops, or slippers

If you have questions or would like to help out, please talk to Alicia or Jonathan Hunt
